I`m playing hooky tonight, I stayed up today and stripped her down (the bike):laugh: . I pulled the emblems off the tank and discovered holes due to rust:angry: . I guess I will be watching e-bay for another tank.

I`m glad my wife taking this all in stride. I rode the Honda shadow for the last five years, accessorized it last Oct. Got the GPz in April and now this. I think it may be mid life...

Last but not least, I got this for my brother for $400.00.
Cleaned the carbs, sealed the tank, fork seals done and new front tire. Runs like a champ.

Is the tank completely rotted out? There getting rare these days.

KZ750R1 + 1991 ZR750 = KZR750R1
Better to be shot out of a cannon then squeezed through a tube. - HST

Yeah, its rusted through on the side. I didn`t find that out until the emblems were removed.

Did the wheels yesterday...took me all day. They looked as though a swamp ape did a square dance on them.

Found a great looking spare tank a fella has on Ebay for sale with his 82 gpz750r1. I emailed and asked if I could purchase the tank and his reply was it would not fit my bike. I replied back and told him the 700A1 is a carbon copy of the 82 gpz750 and I`m still interested in purchasing. The tank looks practically new.

I know which bike you are talking about on eBay...if it doesn't sell, he may be hungry enough to sell you the spare tank...and I suspect that it won't sell at his opening price so you may get lucky. KZ700/750 tanks in great shape are getting to be very rare...when and if the tank becomes available, expect to pay at least between US$200 and 300 for it.

I`m still working on it. Engine and frame are done, a lot of parts left to purchase, I have a front fairing on the way. All my electric appears to be in working order after I connected all the wiring and installed the battery. New brake parts, levers, cables on the way. Kerker is going to cost a fortune. The only thing I don`t have to purchase is the green paint.B)
